(This was intended to happen in the last post, but being a stoner who is easily distracted by meatloaf, I rushed the post and forgot to add what happened to Kamui. His actions were why I posted the gif of Madara. Luckily, he was going to take the attack anyway, so this works out perfectly fine)
Indeed Kamui was violently knocked back by the wave of dark chakra, his organs losing their structure and becoming some unholy sludge of coagulated blood and flesh. Though despite suffering what would normally be considered fatal damage, Kamui was able to contort his body and come to a skidding halt on his feet, kicking up a trail of dirt in his wake. Standing upright one could notice a trail of blood flowing from several orifices as the leaking fluids escaped the puppets shell. Ray might be confused as to how the Hokage was still standing, and his Dragon not dispersed like expected. It was in fact because Kamui was not an Edo Tensei Zombie, but instead a Human Puppet created by Rusaku using the cadaver of what was once Kamui Uchiha, given life again through the Tenseigan Altar. Of course while certain methods of killing a normal human will be ineffective against Kamui, he lacks the ability to heal like a Zombie can. He also lacks a great many other things that Edo Zombies do, but he’s still pretty much worth it.
Though one such thing that can in fact kill a human puppet is a giant explosion large enough to destroy half of an entire village apparently mixed with sage mode fire for some reason, as if somehow those two things are incredibly compatible.
As Ray and his T-Rex were starting to attack (We will just assume it attacks despite the Dragon still being there, just to keep the flow.) Kamui was forced to prioritize Rusaku’s life over his own; such is the prime directive of all Marionettes. Clapping his palms together in the snake seal, a dome of Mokuton with the visage of an Oni clamped shut over Rusaku’s head, sprouting from his left and right. The Hobi technique was a well known bomb shelter, able to withstand the power of a compressed tailed beast bomb. Though, it was questionable if one single shelter alone would be enough considering the incredible blacklash that’s about to happen here. So in unison with Kamui, Rusaku too opted to protect himself from the attacks coming his way.
With his vision hindered by the sudden flash of light, Rusaku panic mimicked Kamui’s movement’s, and caused a second dome to appear over the first, effectively doubling the effectiveness of the technique just as the wave of sage enhanced fire washed over his position, and Kamui’s, effectively reducing the Hokage to ash while Rusaku remained protected. Then the explosion happened. Rusaku braced himself against the walls of his dome as the earth shook violently, dust and debris skyrocketing into the air that could be seen for miles as the shock wave traveled outward. For the time being, The sannin was safe, but the same could not be said for Ray. While he did in fact have his Dark chakra armor and Body revival technique, he was sorely mistaken about what those two techniques could actually defend him from. A popular misconception about chakra absorption techniques is that they render all aspects of a technique innate, but this is not the case. There are certain phenomenon created through ninjutsu that are not considered chakra based. Some such examples are the heat, or lack thereof, in Fire and Ice release. Thunderclouds that can form as fire is shot into the air. Or the most prevalent example: The shockwaves created by an explosion.
When a bomb detonates, the energy released from the explosion radiates outward in all directions at once at speeds between 3 and 9 km per second. As this sphere of energy expands, it compresses and accelerates the surrounding air molecules into a supersonic blast wave. This overpressure only exists for a few milliseconds, but it is the primary cause of explosive injuries and property damage. The closer you are to the source of the blast, the more severe the compression. With that in mind, Ray’s explosion release acted like the initial application of energy, but the highly compressed and accelerated air that is pushed away because of that explosion is NOT chakra, meaning the Dark chakra armor Ray is wearing will do him no favors while facing a nearly point blank explosion that will wipe out half of a huge village. Because of this massive explosion, and Ray being only 15 meters away, the compressed air sent at him would transfer so much energy that his body would be sent flailing like a ragdoll at freeway speeds, causing huge amounts of damage to not only the outside of his body, but to his organs as well. And not just some of the organs, but all of them as his body skipped across the earth like a stone across a pond. Needless to say the amount of damage Ray would be taking here was enough to kill 10 men several times over, and that’s just the blunt force damage of the air and his face against pavement. We could then look at if there was any heat produced by such a bomb, which if so could probably reduce a body to a charred mummy of it’s former self, once again being an energy source that cannot be absorbed by Dark chakra.
With all of the damage sure to be happening to Ray, it should take some time for his injuries to heal completely; several seconds at the very earliest. Rusaku quickly rubbed the blinding light from his eyes while the explosion occurred, waiting for it to subside before acting. And of course Ray wouldn’t come to a halt until after he was no longer at the mercy of his own explosion which was about the same time Rusaku began to act. With his vision hindered, Rusaku’s sight was not at it’s peak, but he could still make out the blurred image of Ray’s body as he was probably attempting to heal from the damage. Forming a small set of seals, Rusaku caused a number of timbers to sprout from the ground all around Ray in an attempt to create a cage around his person, with shackles that would follow to try and bind his hands and feet. Because of the Chakra absorbing properties of the mokuton, the cage would begin to syphon all of Ray’s energy, preventing him from creating techniques should he actually be caught.
Thunder and lighting cracked overhead as clouds began to gather as a result of of Rusaku's previous weather manipulation and all of the heat produced though the length of this fight. These clouds contained no chakra.
